I think a lot of that is because we have 2 WR (Olave and Shaheed) that weight 185 and 180 respectively and are not even average as blocking WR's go. Compare that to just LSU who has Nabors at a stocky 200 and Brian Thomas Jr at 210. Online also sucks and our RB's are not that fleet of foot.

Maybe. But a lot of it is the fact are OC never made a concerted effort running the ball throughout a whole game.

All good points, but O-line gets ZERO push on run blocks. The RBs are getting hit at or behind the line wayyy too often. Playcalling, formations, & motions could help by not being so predictable as well.

This has been worrying me. Long runs almost always have good WR blocking.
